the frequency of a wave changes the pitch of the of the sound, a lower frequency (less frequent vibrations of the speaker) means lower pitch (bass notes) a higher frequency increases the pitch (treble notes) the formula is: speed = frequency x wavelength note: if you double the frequency of a sound you half the wavelength (assuming the medium through which the sound travels is constant, thus the speed of the sound is constant) doubling the frequency also increases the pitch by one octave... the note "Middle C" is 440 Hz "C" one octave higher is 880 Hz and "C" one octave lower is 220 Hz all of the "C" notes in the musical scale are "C" below human hearing range 13.75 Hz Lowest "C" 27.5 Hz (Just within average human hearing range) "C" One Octave Higher 55 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 110 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 220 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 440 Hz also known as "Middle C" "C" One more Octave Higher 880 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 1760 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 3520 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 14080 Hz (The Highest "C" Note the average human can hear) "C" One more Octave Higher 28160 Hz (outside of human hearing range but it really annoys dogs)

If a bass guitar has a frequency of 400Hz what frequency would your eardrum vibrate at?

Any frequency/note played by said bass guitar


What is a super heterodyne receiver?

A superheterodyne receiver is a Radio Frequency receiver method that multiplies the received signal frequency with a local oscillator frequency to get frequencies that are the sum and difference of the 2 frequencies. For example, if the received signal is 5MHz and the local oscillator frequency is 4MHz, they are multiplied together. 1MHz and 9MHz frequencies would be gotten. Usually the 1MHz is the Intermediate Frequency (IF). It will be admitted (through a band pass filter) later passed through the required electronic circuits for proper processing. There is also the method of the Variable Tuned Filter.


What number of beats would be produced by two objects that vibrate at 256 Hz and 258 Hz respectively?

When two objects vibrate at frequencies of 256 Hz and 258 Hz, the difference in their frequencies creates a phenomenon known as beats. The beat frequency is calculated by subtracting the lower frequency from the higher frequency: 258 Hz - 256 Hz = 2 Hz. Therefore, two beats would be produced per second as a result of the interference between the two sound waves.


The fundamental frequency of a string is 550 hz what is the first harmonic frequency of the string?

The first harmonic, is the fundamental frequency, or 550 Hz. The second harmonic would be twice that, or 1100 Hz. The third would be twice that, or 1650 Hz and so on...

How would the wavelength and frequency of a wave would change if the amount of energy it carried was increased?

If the amount of energy a wave carries is increased, the frequency would increase while the wavelength decreases. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength in a wave.


Two notes are sounding one of which is 370 Hz If a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard what is the other note's frequency?

The other note's frequency would be either 365 Hz or 375 Hz. Since the beat frequency is the difference in frequencies between the two notes, you can either subtract or add the beat frequency to the known frequency to determine the other note's frequency.


Two notes are sounding one of which is 370 Hz. If a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard what is the other notes frequency?

The other note's frequency would be either 365 Hz (370 - 5) or 375 Hz (370 + 5) depending on whether the beat frequency is the difference or the sum of the two frequencies.


How would the wavelength of a wave change if the speed of the wave increased but not the frequency?

The wavelength would increase by the same proportion.


When you increase the tension on a piece of wire the speed of waves on it increase but the wavelength stays constant what happens to the frequency of the waves as the tension the wire is increased?

If the speed increased and the wavelngth stayed the same then the frequency would have to increase. Because Speed=Frequency*Wavelength Hope that helps


What happens to the wavelength when the speed is increased and frequency stays the same?

If the speed is increased and the frequency stays the same, the wavelength will also increase. Wavelength is inversely proportional to speed for a constant frequency, so as the speed increases, the wavelength will also increase.


Predict how the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increased?

If the frequency of the waves increased, the wavelength would decrease. This is because the speed of the waves is constant in a given medium, and the wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely proportional to each other according to the wave equation v = λf.


Four beats per second are heard when two notes are sounded The frequency of one note is 420 Hz what is a possible frequency of the other note?

The difference in frequency between the two notes results in the 4 beats per second. If one note is 420 Hz, a possible frequency for the other note could be either 416 Hz or 424 Hz, as these values would result in a 4 Hz difference, creating the perceived beats.

Would amplitude increase if frequency increased?

No, amplitude is not directly related to frequency. Amplitude refers to the intensity or magnitude of a wave, while frequency refers to the number of times a wave oscillates in a given period. Changing the frequency of a wave will not automatically change its amplitude.


What would be an observable change in sound when the frequency changes?

An observable change in sound when the frequency changes is a difference in pitch. As the frequency increases, the pitch becomes higher, and as the frequency decreases, the pitch becomes lower. This change in pitch is due to the direct relationship between frequency and pitch in sound waves.


How would the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increased?

The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.
